Might be good for those looking for a longer sleep......though not if you have n important meeting on arrival!

Just be aware there are (at least) two different varieties of Unisom sleeping pills, SleepGels and SleepTabs, each with different active ingredients.

I mention this only as some people seem not to "get-on" with a particular ingredient so always check you are getting the type that you want - the packs are quite similar.
